New FOX Series Looks at High-Stakes Antiquing

LOS ANGELES: FOX has picked up Buried Treasure, a production of ITV Studios America that follows twin brothers Leigh and Leslie Keno, who travel across the country to help people discover the unknown treasures in their homes.

The Keno brothers (Antiques Roadshow) are antique experts and appraisers who have helped people from all over the world sell more than $1 billion worth of collectibles. In each episode, the Kenos will head into participants’ homes and start searching for hidden gems. The brothers will investigate various items—some treasures, some trash—to determine the authenticity, condition and worth. The pair will unveil the estimated auction values and ask the family if they’re ready to sell.

"We’re thrilled to be in partnership with FOX and the Keno Brothers on this exciting new project," said Paul Buccieri, the president and CEO of ITV Studios America. "We have had an incredible working relationship with FOX, and look forward to expanding with this initiative."

"Right now, a lot of people in America need cash, and we’re helping them find it in their own homes," said Joe Livecchi, series creator and executive producer. "We’re transforming lives with every treasure we find."
